Das Buch konzeptualisiert im theoretischen Teil die Nachhaltige Entwicklung als regulative Idee, stellt den systematischen Bezug zur institutionellen Ebene dar, erarbeitet aus einer gesellschaftstheoretischen Perspektive die grundsätzlichen Herausforderungen an eine Politik der Nachhaltigkeit...

In a recent contribution, Teunter et al. [2006. Dynamic lot sizing with product returns and remanufacturing. IJPR 44 (20), 4377-4400] adapted three well-known heuristic approaches for the single-item dynamic lot sizing problem to incorporate returning products that can be remanufactured. The...

Mit dem von P. Nyhuis und H.-P. Wiendahl entwickelten Konzept der logistischen Kennlinien ist das Ziel verbunden, den Zusammenhang zwischen verschiedenen Kenngrößen eines logistischen Systems mit einem einfachen Funktionsverlauf hinreichend genau abzubilden. Im Rahmen von Lagerkennlinien soll...

In the area of reverse logistics, remanufacturing has been proven to be a valu- able option for product recovery. In many industries, each step of the products’ recovery is carried out in lot sizes which leads to the assumption that for each of the different recovery steps some kind of fixed...

An effective planning of lot sizes is a key strategy to efficiently manage a combined manufacturing/remanufacturing system in the presence of substantial setup costs. Due to its complex interdependencies, optimal policies and solutions have not been identified so far, but several heuristic...

Regional and rural development policies in Europe increasingly emphasize entrepreneurship to mobilize the endogenous economic potential of rural territories. This study develops a concept to quantify entrepreneurship as place-dependent local potential to examine its impact on the local economic...

Analyzing static lot sizing problems has always attracted a considerable interest in scientific literature. A commonly applied methodology to solve the trade-off between setup and holding costs is to order the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) whenever the corresponding inventory is depleted. Yet,...

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag zur Produktionslogistik wird die auftragsorientierte Fertigung von Druckaufträgen in der maschinellen Werkstattproduktion klein- und mittelständischer Unternehmen (KMU) am Fallbeispiel einer Akzidenzdruckerei betrachtet. Wesentliche Planungsaufgaben stellen dabei...

The term urban sprawl is often used to describe apparent inefficiencies of spatial development, including disproportionate growth of urban areas and excessive leapfrog development. In Switzerland, where open space is a scare resource, sprawl takes place all over the country. It goes at the...
